Show Notes: Mind Power Meets Mystic Episode: Managing Anxiety in Uncertain Times

Episode Title: Drop Fear, Make Empowered Decisions with Cinthia Varkevisser & Michelle Walters

Hosts:

• Michelle Walters – Hypnotherapist and Coach
• Cinthia Varkevisser – Intuitive Healer and Mystic

In this episode, we dive into tips for managing anxiety in these uncertain times and provide simple yet effective strategies for calming the body, mind, and spirit.

Managing Anxiety in the Bodu

• Movement: Whether through dancing, walking, or skipping, movement helps release anxiety and bring you into the present moment. Cinthia shares her love for dancing like a “cuckoo banana baby” and how laughter from movement shifts energy.
• Laughter: Laughter helps release tension and boosts physical well-being. Find activities that make you laugh to break through anxiety.
• Diet: Nourish your body with healthy, unprocessed foods. In times of stress, your body needs lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water to stay balanced and strong.

Mind Power Tips for Anxiety

• News Detox: Take a break from the overwhelming news cycle. Instead, read books (both fiction and self-growth) or journal to center your thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.
• Writing Letters: Try writing letters to people you’re angry with or to those you haven’t spoken to in a while. This allows you to express your feelings and regain control over your emotions.
• Social Media Awareness: Monitor your social media consumption. Misinformation is everywhere, and being mindful of what you consume and share is crucial for mental clarity.

Spiritual Tips for Anxiety

• Shake Things Up: Do something unexpected to break the pattern of anxiety. Cinthia shares her unique tip—washing dishes blindfolded—as a fun way to ground yourself in the present.
• Engage in a Hobby: Whether it's gardening, knitting, or pickleball, doing something soothing and hands-on can help quiet the noise of anxiety and bring you into a state of flow.

Cinthia and Michelle are collaborating on a live event in San Francisco:
